(MENAFN) After attempting to cross Evros River into Greece on Tuesday, Turkish border troops fired warning shots at a group of suspects, according to GreekReporter.
One man managed to escape and was arrested near the Greek village of Kastanies. He is being held on "protective custody" for illegally entering the country.
Greek authorities have not released his name. He was holding a Turkish passport issued at the city of Adana, in southern Turkey.
The Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), which has fought a three-decade insurgency in Turkey, is deemed a terrorist group by the United States, the European Union and Turkey.
